Does coffee cause and contribute to acid reflux?

Question

I seem to have really bad acid reflux lately and I can't figure out what is causing it. The only thing I have done differently is started to drink coffee on a regular basis again.

Answer 1

It can, coffee is naturaly very acidic. The same thing happens to me when I drink to much and I really don't have too much of a problem with heartburn except from coffee.

Answer 2

Hey!  My fiance has acid reflux also, and it is recommended that you avoid drinking coffee as it can be a trigger in some people.  I have provided you with some more information on the topic if you should have any further questions about it.  I wish you all the best.  Good luck!!
